Amazing what ripe grapes (not over-ripe), a cultured yeast and a skilled enologist could do back in those days. Now you have bloggers (and maybe even someone who actually drinks wine) who prefer &quot;natural yeast&quot;, unfiltered wines matured in clay pots or enema bags and bottled by the light of the moon...a whole different world.<br />*****<br />I know some militia fellers from Montana who&#39;d like to think they&#39;re sharp-shooters, but they&#39;re usually too glassy-eyed to be accurate. They&#39;ve never been to Temecula.<br />*****<br />That Samantha sure has a mouth on her, don&#39;t she? No wonder she&#39;s such a skilled wine taster...<br />*****<br /><br />ANONYMOUS IAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-73362334617947799382009-12-10T11:40:33.060-08:002009-12-10T11:40:33.060-08:00My Gorgeous Samantha,

Great writers steal.&quot; Draw your own conclusions.<br /><br />I do so adore you!<br /><br />Anonymous 1,<br /><br />I always wonder why so many people in the wine business hate the glassy-winged sharpshooter when it damn near succeeded in wiping out Temecula. We should give the little buggers a medal. <br /><br />I didn&#39;t know Kerry Damskey worked at San Pasqual (San Pasqual was the patron saint of new French oak). But I guess most of the great winemakers came out of Temecula.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-75535538142050613192009-12-10T08:19:42.402-08:002009-12-10T08:19:42.402-08:00Heavens to Sweet Nancy!

If that were to happen to me, say if I wrote a post with a not so funny line like, &quot;When I started blogging 20 years ago&quot; and someone like took it and used it for their own, don&#39;t know what I might be forced to do.
